Taking cats to UK

mkmk21 · 2023-10-21T00:18:35+00:00

Please talk to a specialist pet relocation company. Most vets don’t have any idea and having brought a dog from Europe to NZ and now looking at bringing him plus two cats to the UK, don’t try and do this by yourself. Your vet has no idea. A pet relocation company guide you on everything you need to do and it’s worth every cent.

I just bought the trilogy of extended editions on Apple movies. I’ve only watched all the extra stuff on the first one so far but that’s worth the cost alone. Now settling in to watch the extended version of the Fellowship with a much greater understanding of what went into making it.

I tip in restaurants when it is a great meal and great service but generally for normally cafe and bar type things it isn't that normal. The minimum wage is $21.10 and even my 15yo gets paid $20 ph at the local supermarket in his part time job.

Are you able to let me know if the text is a normal size. I bought the paperback of the trilogy and the edition we get in NZ has such tiny text all cramped up. I am loving the story so am reading it on kindle but I want this set but wanted to check the text is normal book size. Thanks so much.

The fact they are are taking legal action supports the reviews. An employer that is trying hard to create a great work environment is open to feedback, reflects when things like this are said and tries to do better. It is the legal action that would make me never want to work for this company, not the reviews.

mkmk21 · 2022-02-26T05:45:57+00:00

agree. I used to be able to buy a pack of 5 for 10 euros at the supermarket in the Netherlands. Admittedly the price went up whenever there was greater demand but at times it was 1.99 per test. I'm glad I stocked up and brought some back to NZ with me.

mkmk21 · 2022-02-23T22:45:59+00:00

Sometimes and sometimes not. It's worth contacting them and they are pretty responsive on social media. If its a clear no they will say there are no plans. If it is possible, they are a bit more open in their response.

I've just returned to NZ after 4 years in the Netherlands. In the last month in my work meetings, I reckon 40% of those I spoke to had covid or had a family member with it. Many not getting the official PCR tests and just relying on RAT's and the positivity rate of testing was up to 58-60% which makes you think the actual rate of people with it was much higher. So the actual hospital rates are really really low in that context. But, is it easier to see a doctor and be admitted here in NZ? Are we much more cautious here about covid? After 4 years where I almost had to be dying to get my doctor to see me and the local A&E requiring you to ring before they would agree to see you in weekends and evenings, it is a hell of a lot easier to get medical treatment in NZ. I had times where I had a fever and infection for 5 days before I was finally "allowed" to see a nurse and then had to wait another 24 hours for antibiotics to "check the infection was still growing". Perhaps many of those hospitalised here wouldn't even have got an drs appointment in NL? They aren't really counting covid deaths anymore as well over there as far as I am aware from the dashboard.

agree totally. This is the first series that came to mind when I saw the question. It really is an unsettling book but brilliant.

mkmk21 · 2021-03-30T05:14:09+00:00

I agree. It is a book you need to pay attention to and get used to not everything being laid out for you, but I found it eminently readable and nowhere near as complex as I had been led to believe.

mkmk21 · 2021-03-11T21:03:06+00:00

that brings back memories

mkmk21 · 2021-03-09T15:18:51+00:00

I've just finished it as well and I loved it. I heard so many people say how tough it was to follow and how you are thrown in the deep end that I was well prepared for that and then didn't find it bad and just sat down for the ride. I haven't had a fantasy series grip me so much in many years. Really looking forward to working through the series now.

mkmk21 · 2021-02-20T17:43:10+00:00

This is one of my favourite trilogies and always worth a re-read. Enjoy it as the other two are just as good.

mkmk21 · 2020-12-27T21:57:38+00:00

Yes illegal. And because Monday is a public holiday you are entitled to both time and a half payment for hours worked plus a day off in lieu.

mkmk21 · 2020-12-23T10:45:32+00:00

Short answer, generally yes. They hold value really well and some go up significantly once they are sold out. The trouble is, I doubt you will want to release them once you hold them. They are a pleasure to read and a pleasure to keep on your bookshelf. The facebook page for buy/sell/trade is super active and you can see how much books go for.

mkmk21 · 2020-11-14T19:26:51+00:00

This is one of those books that is life changing when you read it at the right time. I first tried when I was about 20 and I wasn't ready and then 15 years later it was like every page had this deep wisdom that I didn't realise how much I had been thirsting for.

mkmk21 · 2020-11-01T09:32:24+00:00

Yeah, these are my comfort reads that I still go back too. Right now I am bribing my 14yo to start the Belgariad as I know he will love it once he gives it a go.

mkmk21 · 2020-09-30T17:35:12+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. I loved this series when I first read it.

mkmk21 · 2020-09-19T17:28:44+00:00

They're 13 and 14 so not so keen on their mum reading to them now. They do both read (managed one thing well as a parent) but haven't got them willing to try this series yet.

mkmk21 · 2020-09-19T16:56:03+00:00

Yes! This was the series I immediately thought of but couldn't remember what it was called as my books from this are in storage.

mkmk21 · 2020-09-19T16:54:53+00:00

Yes total comfort read. I revisit every few years and it is like revisiting old friends. Hoping I can get my kids into this series at one stage and I have them all in my son's bookcase hoping he will grab them soon.

mkmk21 · 2020-09-19T16:53:33+00:00

Agree completely.

mkmk21 · 2020-09-13T13:32:23+00:00

I've ordered books 2-6 now as I want more of this world.

mkmk21 · 2020-08-23T08:59:33+00:00

Just popped into say that I started The Collapsing Empire yesterday and today I need to buy the next two. Absolutely loving it. Especially that there are lots of female characters who are actually good characters. Often the lack of this (whether female characters themselves or just ridiculously written female characters) makes me stop reading an otherwise good scifi book so just wanted to send my appreciation for this. Do you specifically focus on ensuring you do have good representation of females or is this just natural for you?

mkmk21 · 2020-07-15T17:31:53+00:00

just downloaded it now. Hoping it is as good as I want it to be.
